Review Summary

Balboa delivers wood fired sourdough pizzas with fresh toppings and a flavorful crust, and the crowd consistently notes a warm, welcoming atmosphere in Old Montreal along with attentive service; the space is praised for a casual yet artsy vibe, stylish interiors, and a lively yet intimate setting that makes it a solid spot for pizza and pasta, drinks, and dessert with standout mentions of items like fried olives and tiramisu. While many visits highlight excellent value for quality, some comments point to high prices for the tourist location and occasional slow or uneven service; pizzas are repeatedly described as delicious with a balanced crust and toppings, pasta can be hit or miss, and a few dishes do not exceed expectations, leading to mixed feelings about overall value. Despite these differences, Balboa is frequently recommended for a date night or group outing, with many guests planning a return and praising the staff's friendliness and the overall experience.

We stopped here for a late dinner. It was a really nice pizzeria with a casual yet artsy feeling vibe. The staff were so friendly & fun. The drinks were great. The pizzas were AMAZING! Thin crust fresh & flavourful ingredients. We had two pasta dishes & they were okay but they paled in comparison to the pizzas. We ordered the Margherita, the pizza Bianca with the fennel sausage & the 4-cheese pizza. We'll have to make this a destination for our next visit to old Montreal.

Expensive, mid food, super slow service.

Went in a group of 4 for dinner, with reservation. Took us 15 minutes to be seated even though we showed up at reservation time & there were plenty of empty tables, then they forgot about us for 45 minutes (while waiters were passing by us looking at our table).

Finally, when we got to order, we ordered food & drinks. The food came first!! We had to wait an extra 10 minutes for our drinks (they were fine drinks).

As for the food, it was fine, nobody was super impressed by their dish. If the prices were 60-70% of what they are at this restaurant, then it would be worth it.
